Anyone who opens fire on a college campus (or any school)...
...should get life in prison without the possibility of parole. You're freaking done with society!

The challenge is all these people are mentally ill. Us as a society need
to continue to create structures to catch it before they get worse and worse. Not just pawn it off others. Then we all get hurt.

I don't care if they are mentally ill. Sure, it would be great if we could
intercede ahead of time. But if someone starts shooting innocent people...like Edge said, they have to be done.

I agree with you 1000%
They should be held accountable. And I always look at the best breakdown is the one you can prevent. If that even saves one innocent life, that's worth it to me.

We, as a society - what 'structures' to catch 'it' have we already created
that have placed us en route to stopping this occurrence from worsening? Who are we pawning 'it' off on so that we 'all' get hurt? I challenge the notion that 'all these people are mentally ill'. Some are reacting to events and some are just flat evil but neither of those behavioral conditions is anywhere near 'mental illness'. You may as well label someone 'mentally ill' for burglary and failure to pay child support if the mental definition keeps expanding. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 4/17/2025, 4:57:42 PM

I agree with you, but SOMEONE has to take blame (other than the person->
who actually DID it, of course). Calling them all "mentally ill" is a no-brainer..You HAVE to be crazy to kill somebody like they do..BUT, that isn't a defense!!

I think it is largely to do with the rise of moral relativism and the...
...cheapening of human life. But I can't really expound on that theory much more without getting a one week vacation from the Lounge, so I'll just stop there.
